Course Description

There are so many amazing front-end JavaScript frameworks out there, and sometimes it can be hard to figure out which one to use! Each framework has its adherents who will tell you how great it is, but how can we choose between them? To make an informed choice, we need to experiment with each framework: to get a feel for how it works and to begin to decide whether it is best suited to our own project needs or style of programming.

During the course, we’re going to build an address book application with four different front-end frameworks: Backbone, Angular, React and Ember. We’ll get a feeling for how they all work, and how they stack up against one another.

What You’ll Learn

• A detailed, step-by-step walkthrough of creating an address book application using four different front-end frameworks: Backbone, Angular, React, and Ember.
• In each case, you’ll go through the application setup, create the model, build the router, and create the necessary views.
• At the end, you’ll understand how the frameworks operate, the differences between them, and the strengths and weaknesses of each.
